Please see my response to your list, and reply if you can why my statements are wrong.  Noone, yet, has disputed my claims that proved your statements wrong.

Drdino..please...I'd rather visit www.rotten.com during lunchtime.  I gave you evidence.  Now either respond or concede.

and Radio Carbon Dating? check again...that method of measurement isn't accurate past 10,000 years.  You REALLY need to familiarize yourself with scientific dating methods before you bash on them.  Hint: Research Uranimium decay rates as a start.  (This method gave us the current true age of the earth)

And I trust a physicist/nuclear engineer on the topic of radioactive decay rates more than I'd trust Hovind.  Hovind is merely brain-washing you with his hogwash.

Would you trust a shade-tree auto mechanic for a heart by-pass? I doubt it.  You REALLY need to search alternate sources and compare them with Hovind's before you attempt to debate scientific proofs.  TRUE scientists consult multiple sources/publications/textbooks/experts to prevent the 'open mouth - insert foot' result.

Let me ask you a question. Why would you believe a 4000 year old book written by middle-eastern nomads instead of hundreds of years of scientific reaserch and mountains of evidence?

a theological book at that...not a book of science.

Sad to see one so young deceived.  Many your age professed the same about David Koresh, Jim Jomes, and Mr. Moon.

Since the reason I think Hovind is unconvincing is that I have solid reason to believe that he's a con man preying on gullible people, and that his evidence is variously faked up, why should going to look at the same tired arguments help any?

ICR makes people swear an oath never to disagree with creation, no matter what evidence they find. How on *earth* could I mistake them for scientists?

You made the claims, I refuted them.  Sorry, noone put all the textbooks in front of me.  Back up and do your own homework.

To Smilin',
Because of the extremely long explanation for Carbon Dating, I will, once again, refer you to Dr. Hovind at www-drdino-com for the answer to your questions about radiocarbon. It was a neat idea, but it doesn't work. You will find all your scientific answers for the radiocarbon question in Hovind's statement about it. Also be sure to read his Equilibrium Response. There you have it for RadioCarbon. I will now respond to Pete Harcoff's statement about my evidence for the age of the earth and I will not be able to respond to questions for a while as it takes a while to type.

If you want a legitimate creationist site, try ICR www.icr.org

Actually, I think the term "legitimate creationist site" (at least from a scientific perspective) is an oxymoron. Both ICR and AIG have it in their mandate to outright reject any evidence that disproves their version of Biblical creationism. That's hardly being intellectually honest about things.
